to get the vtec crossover perfect, yes it needs to be dyno tuned. street tuning a vafc shouldnt take any longer than 30 minutes and at 200 dollars an hour, thats a little stiff to push an up and down arrow and read the wideband.

who is doing the tuning?

Oooh Blake she called you babe

You should just ask them what all is included, it looks to me like it isn't $200/hr, but just a flat rate for as long as it takes.

I'm not thinking its a street tune though, putting a wideband in your car would require them welding an extra bung to your exhaust system, it seems like a dyno tune with a sniffer is more likely. I like widebands better than sniffers though.

ok he knows is stuff very well. Before you get tuned, make sure you buy spark plugs and gap them to .045 and make sure you dont have any exhaust leaks, it will effect the efficiency of the tune.

well, spark plugs are cheap so i would buy some anyway just because its more logical if you wanting to change the way the car delivers fuel and ignition.

I like them. Lots of people say bad shiet about them but they perform perfect and last pretty long in my opinion.
